    Improve CRS score

    A CRS score of 450 should get you in the game. This score got applicants ITA's in February and is likely to do so again later this year. What is the CLB equivalent of your current IELTS score? If you max it out like 21Goose recommended, then your score will see an immediate jump with an...

    Documents for express entry process

    For the country you are currently resident in, IRCC requires PCC's to be issued no longer than 6 months before you submit your e-APR. So logically, it is better to wait and get a PCC as close to the date of submitting your e-APR (by applying for your PCC after receiving an ITA). I am assuming...

    Help!!! Application cancelled due to documents incomplete

    Can you clarify what document you were missing? You say the PCC was not enough but what Court document are you referring to? Your CSE will only be considered if you can prove that IRCC made an error in reviewing the documents you submitted with your e-APR. Right up to the 'completeness check'...

    Spouses dutch work-experience

    You are right. Since your spouse is the Principal Applicant, you will not score any CRS points for your foreign work experience. In this case, you are not required to enter your employment details in the Work history section but only in your personal history. If you don't include it in your...

    What course did you graduate in? What course do you intend to pursue in Canada?

    PGWP

    You have posted a PGWP query in a Express Entry forum, so you should move it to the appropriate forum. In any case, 1. Any employer can hire you now based on your PGWP (Open Work Permit) without a LMIA approved job offer. An LMIA costs time and money so the real benefit for an employer to hire...

    Rejection after ITA

    I am sorry you have to face this situation. The officer specifically points to not being satisfied with the work experience documents and that you did not meet the continuous one year paid Work experience criteria. Since this forms the MEC (Minimum Entry Criteria) for FSW, he seems to have...

    Which territories accept Express Enty?

    1. Express Entry is a Federal Immigration program and is hence applicable for all provinces (except Quebec, which has its own immigration program). If you receive PR through a Federal program, you can settle in any province in Canada. 2. OINP is a Provincial Nomination program, whereby the...

    **URGENT** procedural fairness

    I am surprised that IRCC is asking for additional proof of relationship, for an economic class FSW application, despite providing them with a copy of your marriage certificate with your e-APR! The fact that the Officer states that the certificate is missing could indicate that he has missed...

    Applying EE but divorced with Canadian child

    Well, the point I was trying to make by highlighting that particular case was that a child of either spouse, before of during the current marriage, needs to be indicated as a dependant. This is the critical point. Based on everything I've read so far, IRCC is trying to ascertain two specific...

    Has XXX applied for Permanent Residence (PR) before?

    The visa counterfoil in your passport should list the UCI number but it isn't annotated as such. It is the last number, in the line next to 'C.Rec' code (usually directly beneath the 'Person(s)' listing) and should be 10 digits.

    need an urgent clarification

    If your only history with IRCC is your previous Express Entry application in the pool - then your answer should be 'NO'. Just for your information, to answer 'Yes', IRCC should have issued an ITA to you, accepted your previous Express Entry application with an 'Acknowledgement of Receipt' (AOR)...

    Indian Police Verification?

    You can get your Indian Police Clearance Certificate in Canada by applying either through BLS India (a third party, handling services for the IHC) or directly through the Indian High Commission (IHC) closest to you. Most people get it in a weeks time, but the official timeline quoted on their...

    Chances of Express Entry with CRS 431

    If I am not wrong, your current IELTS score is equivalent to CLB 9 (owing to Band score of 9 in Writing)....If you can retake IELTS and score at least 7.5 in the Writing module, then you can achieve CLB 10. That would let you score an additional 12 CRS points - ramping up your score to 443...

    Applying EE but divorced with Canadian child

    I am responding specifically to Q.1 Yes, you certainly should. Even if you are divorced and your ex-spouse has custody of your child - IRCC requires that you declare your child as a dependant. According to them, since you are a biological parent, the child will be your responsibility in case...

    CRS score 428!

    Your chances of getting an ITA with a CRS of 428 are super low. You say you've maxed out your IELTS but what about points for your spouse. His ECA and Language proficiency scores can make a difference of upto 30-40 points. Is there any room for improvement there? If not, you'll have to go the...

    Incomplete or Rejected?

    The letter from your ex-supervisor does not need to be on a letterhead, so it doesn't matter if he has switched jobs since. By all means, attach the job offer email but ensure that the lead statement of your NOC matches perfectly and at least 60-75% of the main duties listed under the NOC match...

    Is flagpoling at Point Roberts (BC) still possible?

    I flagpoled there on a Sunday morning in December 2018 to get my Post Graduate Work Permit. I guess it should still work, though I am not sure if they have fixed hours when they process applications.
